Build webRTC for android on windows

Question

I am working with webRTC. I want to build it for android to do peer to peer streaming. I think i can do that using that webRTC-android-app, right? So my question how can i build it on windows because if you go to the link the first line says "Android development is only supported on Linux."

So it's possible to build that on windows or i have to switch to Linux for that project?

Answer 1

I would recommend you to try use Cygwin (https://www.cygwin.com/). Please be sure that you are using x64 version. I would also recommend you to setup "devel" package during installation process. apt-cyg (https://code.google.com/p/apt-cyg/) will be also helpful for you.

The build steps will be similar with build steps for Linux, but all operations will be done under cygwin console.

The main advantage of this way is that you can easily integrate Cygwin bash with your IDE on windows (e.g. eclipse) and build WebRTC library as a part of your project build process.
